3.0 Installation
3.1 Receipt of Equipment
All equipment shipped by General Monitors is pre-packed in shock absorbing containers,
which provide protection against physical damage (original containers should be kept for
future shipping or storage needs).
Shipping container contents should be carefully removed and checked against the packing
list. If any damage has occurred, or there is any discrepancy in the order, please notify
General Monitors as soon as possible.
All correspondence with General Monitors must specify the equipment part number and serial
number.
The factory tests each unit; however, a complete system checkout is suggested upon initial
installation to ensure system integrity.
WARNING: Installation and maintenance must be carried out by suitably skilled and
competent personnel only.
Flat-head screwdriver maximum 3/16” (5 mm) width for terminal block connections
(included with gas detector).
The sensor should be mounted pointing down to prevent water build-up on the
sensor head.
The sensor should not be placed where contaminating substances may coat it.
Although the S4000CH is RFI resistant, it should not be mounted in close proximity to
radio transmitters or similar equipment.
Locate the S4000CH where prevailing air currents contain the maximum
concentration of gas.
Locate the S4000CH near possible sources of gas leaks.
Observe the S4000CH’s temperature specification and locate the unit away from
concentrated sources of heat.
10
Model S4000CH
Sensors should be mounted in an area that is as free from wind, dust, water, shock,
and vibration as possible. See Section 7.3.6 for the environmental specifications of
the unit. If the sensor cannot be located away from dust and rain, then we
recommend the use of our splashguard GM P/N 10395-1 to help protect the sensor.
The presence of poisons and contaminants in an area does not necessarily preclude the use
of a Model S4000CH intelligent sensor. The feasibility of using a sensor in such areas must
be determined by an analysis of the specific factors in each application and General Monitors
should be consulted before attempting any such installation.
Sensors used in these areas usually require more frequent calibration checks than normal,
and typically have a shorter life. In many such applications, the standard two-year warranty
would not apply.
WARNING: General Monitors discourages the painting of sensor assemblies. If the sensor
head is painted over, the gas will not be able to diffuse into the sensor. If the
assembly cover is painted over, the digital display cannot be read.
For remote mounting in Canada where the location is classified using the Zone
classification system, the sensors must be mounted in sensor housing B13-020, B13-021,
or B13-022 as applicable. Only sensors 11159 can be used in this configuration.
General Monitors has accessories that help with remote or difficult to get to locations. The
RGC or ARGC facilitate remote gassing.
NOTE: At an upper ambient of +200°C, the accuracy of the gas readings will be negatively
impacted. For example, in an atmosphere of 10% LEL gas, the sensor will read
approximately 2% LEL; at 25% LEL, the sensor will read approx.15%; at 50% LEL,
the sensor will read approx. 34%; at 75% LEL, the sensor will read approx. 59%, at
85% LEL, the sensor will read approx. 67%.

Model S4000CH
The outline and mounting dimensions for the S4000CH (Figure 10) should be used when
making installation determinations. A complete list of the mechanical specifications can be
found in Section 7.3.2.
NOTE: For ATEX and IECEx applications, conduit connections must only be made via
suitably certified ATEX (or IECEx as appropriate) conduit stopping boxes.
Information on Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 wiring methods can be found in the NEC and
CEC.
WARNING: Acetic acid will cause damage to metal components, metal hardware, ceramic
IC’s, etc. If damage results from the use of a sealant that outgases acetic acid
(RTV silicone), the warranty will be void.
12
Model S4000CH
Once correctly installed, the S4000CH requires little or no maintenance, other than periodic
calibration checks to ensure system integrity. General Monitors recommends that a
calibration schedule be established and followed.
NOTE: The S4000CH full two-year warranty will be voided if customer personnel or third
parties damage the S4000CH during repair attempts.
Sensor heads exposed to the elements may require the accessory mounting threads to be
lubricated. Grease must not be used. As an alternate, PTFE (Teflon) tape may be used on
sensor accessory threads.
NOTE: Do not use any material or substance on threads that contact the sensor housing.
The removal of particulate matter from sensor accessories may be done through the use of
an appropriate halogen-free solvent. Water and ethanol are examples of suitable solvents.
The accessories should be thoroughly dried with compressed air, if necessary, before refitting
to the sensor body.

power supplies, inverters, battery chargers, ignition systems, generators, switch gear,
arc lights and other high frequency or high power switching process equipment. In
general, maintain separation of at least 1 meter between instrument and other
cables. Greater separations are required where long parallel cable runs are
unavoidable. Avoid running instrument cable trenches close to lightning conductor
earth pits.
Complete all cable insulation testing before connecting the cable at either end.
Some of the factors that influence the explosion-proof integrity of the S4000CH housing are:
The acceptable limits for explosion-proof housings that are used in hazardous locations are
defined in CSA Standard C22.2 No.30, FM 3615, and EN/IEC 60079-1.
Anytime the cover of the S4000CH housing is removed, or the cover bolts are loosened, the
flame path between the lid and the housing is affected. If power is to be left on while
removing the cover or loosening the cover bolts on the S4000CH, it will be necessary to
declassify the area.
When replacing the cover, the gap between the lid and the housing should be less than .0015
inch (.038 mm). Make sure that the flame-path is clear of dirt and debris before replacing the
cover. This can be verified by tightening the cover bolts to a torque setting of 50 inch-pounds
or by using a feeler gauge to ensure the gap between the cover and the housing is less than
.0015 inch (.038 mm).
There are four entry holes, one each on the left and right sides, and two on the bottom of the
S4000CH housing. These holes are dedicated for the sensor and conduit/cable. Each hole is
tapped for ¾” NPT threads. If a particular entry hole is not used, it must be plugged during
operation in the field. The factory installs plugs in the unused entry holes, except one. A red
plastic cap is placed into this remaining hole and must be removed before conduit can be
attached to the housing.
The S4000CH will have the following items placed in the four entry holes, at the factory:
20
Model S4000CH
Inhibit any external devices, such as trip amplifiers, PLC’s, or DCS systems.
Verify that the optional settings are set for the desired configuration.
Verify that the unit is properly mounted. Ensure the conduit/cable gland entries are
pointed downward.
Verify that the power supply is connected properly. The S4000CH is powered by
+24 VDC (20 to 36 VDC voltage range). The detector will output a low voltage (F6)
fault at 18.5 VDC or below.
Make sure the lid is securely installed or the area has been declassified.
3.8 Start-Up
Before applying power to the system for the first time, all wiring connections should be
checked for correctness and the housing cover replaced. Upon first power-up the sensor may
take up to fifteen minutes to stabilize.
At the initial application of power, the unit will test all of the LED segments by displaying
“88.8”. The software revision letter will then be displayed for a few seconds. The unit will then
enter a fifty second Start-Up Mode. During this period, the display will read “SU”. The unit will
then enter Operational Mode, and the current gas concentration at the sensor will be
displayed. For details on calibrating and gas checking the unit, see Sections 3.13 and 3.14.
The relays can be reset via the magnetic switch using a magnet. Place the magnet
over the GM logo on the cover of the unit. After three seconds, the display will show
“rSt”. Remove the magnet at this time and the relays will be reset (Figure 18).
21
Model S4000CH
The relays can be reset via the Remote Reset input terminals on TB2. Connect a
normally open switch between terminal TB2-7 and TB2-8. Closing the switch
momentarily will reset the relays. General Monitors explosion-proof switch, P/N
30051-1, can be used for this purpose. See Section 7.6 for ordering instructions.
The relays can be reset via the Modbus Interface (Section 6.0).
NOTE: Red LED’s above and below the digital display indicate that the Alarm and Warn
relays are active. Latching relays can only be reset if the gas concentration has fallen
below the respective relay set point.
NOTE: If the unit was ordered without relays or Modbus communications, changing relay or
Modbus settings will have no effect on the operation of the unit.
HART
HART is a Master to Slave -One to One communication channel.
RGC
The Remote Gas Calibrator (RGC) is an accessory that allows remote calibration.
With this device, the user turns on and off the calibration gas manually.
ARGC
The ARGC accessory is an Automatic Remote Gas Calibrator (ARGC). It is a kit

3.14 Calibration
General Monitors recommends that the S4000CH Intelligent Sensor be calibrated one hour
after start-up, and that the calibration be checked at least every ninety (90) days to ensure
system integrity. Frequent calibration checks ensure the integrity of the life protecting
equipment.
The above statement is not intended to discourage the customer from checking calibration
more frequently. Frequent calibration checks are recommended for environments that have
problems, such as mud collecting on the sensor head, sensors accidentally being painted
over, etc.
NOTE: If the RGC or ARGC is not installed, the S4000CH calibration is identical to the
S4000C.
NOTE: If the Catalytic bead sensor is fitted with a splash guard, calibration must be
performed with the splash guard in place.
WARNING: General Monitors recommends calibrating the S4000CH with 50% LEL of the
gas being detected. This provides the most accurate calibration, since the
S4000CH is optimized for this concentration. The accuracy of the calibration
may be reduced by using a different calibration level, and this inaccuracy will
increase as the calibration level varies from 50% LEL.
If it is suspected that gases are present, it will be necessary to purge the sensor
environment with zero air. If zero air is not available, cover the sensor for about thirty
seconds before applying the calibration gas. Zero air is air that is hydrocarbon free.
Entering Calibration Mode disables the alarm circuits by sending a 1.5 mA output signal
and disabling the Warn and Alarm relays, if present. This will also prevent activation of the
remote relay contacts when using a General Monitors Readout/Relay Display Module with
the S4000CH.
To enter Calibration Mode, place the magnet over the GM logo on the cover of the unit
(Figure 7) and hold it there until “AC” (Figure 21) appears on the display (about ten
seconds). The display will flash the remaining sensor life (Section 3.14.4) for about ten
27
Model S4000CH
seconds, while the unit acquires the zero reading. Ensure that the sensor is seeing clean
air during this time. Calibration mode can also be entered via remote switch. This option
cannot be used when the ARGC is enabled.
Apply the calibration gas concentration to the sensor (usually 50% LEL of the desired
gas). The display will change from “AC” (Automatic Calibration) to “CP” (Calibration in
Progress), indicating that the sensor is responding to the calibration gas (Figure 22).
After one or two minutes, the display will change from “CP” to “CC” (Figure 23), indicating
that the calibration is complete.
Remove the gas and wait for the unit to return to normal operation. The display will
indicate a few percent full-scale and then drop to “0”.
The unit is now calibrated and the new ZERO and SPAN values have been stored in the
non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
NOTE: The sensor life figure displayed is that calculated on completion of the last
calibration. To determine the current sensor life, calibrate unit and then repeat steps 1
and 2.
NOTE: Once gas has been applied, it is not possible to abort a calibration.
28
Model S4000CH
If the S4000CH is placed in the Calibration Mode and no gas is applied for six minutes,
the unit will revert to a Fault condition. Re-applying the magnet over the GM logo will
return the unit to operational mode with the previous calibration values unchanged.
NOTE: %LEL to %Volume fraction is converted by using NFPA 325 Guide to Fire Hazard
Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids. For example, 100%
LEL CH4 is shown in NFPA to be 5% Volume, Calibration is at 50% LEL or 2.5%
Volume.
NOTE: Remaining sensor life is an estimate of sensor degradation derived from sensor
sensitivity. Because sensor sensitivity is affected by factors other than the natural
sensor degradation, users must establish their own reference by resetting sensor
life whenever these factors are at play. Some examples of these factors are new
sensor installations, sensor replacement, change of the target gas, and changes
in the access of gas to the sensor (produced by the TGA, RGC, or splash guard).
If sensor life is not reset, the remaining sensor life indicator will no longer reflect
the true state of the sensor.

Please specify the gas upon ordering. Spare bottles containing these gases may be
ordered. Methane and hydrogen lecture bottles may be returned to General Monitors for
refilling.
30
Model S4000CH
In poorly ventilated areas, the gas concentration at the sensor may be lower than that outside
the ARGC since the meshed cylinder of the ARGC reduces airflow to the sensor. Therefore,
when installing a sensor with an ARGC in a space with little air flow, it is important to adjust
the warning and alarm settings to a lower level.
NOTE: The ARGC requires extra power. Connect the ARGC 24 VDC at TB2 pin 10 Refer to
Table 1.
“NS”
If a new sensor has been installed, apply the magnet, “SEL” appears on the display. All
ARGC errors will be ignored and the sensor life will be set to 100. If the sensor has been
calibrated before using the ARGC, the user does not have to apply the magnet when “NS” is
displayed.
“100”
The display shows the remaining sensor life for about ten seconds, while the unit
acquires the zero reading. If the user wants to reset the sensor life they can apply
the magnet at this time. Ensure that the sensor is seeing clean air during this time.
31
Model S4000CH
If the initial reading is greater than 5% LEL, an ARGC error will be indicated. This
means the valve could be leaking.
The display will change to “AC” and the gas will be turned on. If the gas reading is less than
60% of the calibration gas, an ARGC error will be indicated. The display will change from
“AC” (Automatic Calibration) to “CP” (Calibration in Progress), indicating that the sensor is
responding to the calibration gas.
After one or two minutes, the display will change from “CP” to “CC” (Figure 26) indicating that
the calibration is complete. Once the valve closes and the ARGC exposes the sensor to
atmosphere, the system measures the rate the gas leaves the sensor. If it is slow the valve
is sticking and an ARGC error is indicated.
The gas will be turned off and the unit will return to normal operation. The display will indicate
a few percent full-scale and then drop to:
“0”
The unit is now calibrated and the new ZERO and SPAN values have been stored in the non-
volatile memory (EEPROM).
When there are ARGC errors, the user should check the ARGC and the sensor. The user
must recalibrate to remove the ARGC errors.
NOTE: Once a new sensor has been calibrated using the ARGC, a simple calibrate
command from the display or HART is all that is required for future calibration.

temperature and humidity ranges quoted in the Appendix under Environmental Specifications.
Insert red dust caps into any vacant cable entry holes.
33
Model S4000CH
5.0 Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Component level repair must be undertaken either by General Monitors’
personnel, or by competent authorized service engineers. SMT PCB repair shall
only be performed at a General Monitors facility. Failure to comply with this
requirement will invalidate the warranty.
Be sure to inhibit or disconnect external alarm wiring before making any check, which might
send the unit into alarm.
There are ten fault conditions that are monitored by the microprocessor, as follows:
ACTION – Remove gas, if present. Apply the magnet to the GM logo on the cover to clear
the fault. Attempt to calibrate.
ACTION - The unit must be returned to the factory or authorized service center for repair.
ACTION - Check the integrity of all sensor connections, and ensure that the cable from the
S4000CH to the remote sensor is not damaged. If all sensor leads are connected properly,
attempt to re-calibrate the unit. If calibration fails, replace the sensor and re-calibrate.
NOTE: Anytime a sensor is replaced, the unit should be disconnected from all alarms, as
the unit may go upscale upon power-up.
34
Model S4000CH
5.1.4 F5 Unused
5.1.5 F6 Low Supply Voltage
This fault occurs if the supply voltage at the S4000CH drops below +18.5 VDC.
ACTION - Ensure that the supply voltage is at least +20 VDC at the S4000CH.
ACTION - The unit must be returned to the factory or authorized service center for repair.
ACTION - Exit setup mode. Enter setup mode again if it is necessary to change any user
selectable options.
ACTION - Place the magnet over the GM logo on the cover to return the unit to normal
operation.
NOTE: If the ARGC is enabled, the grounded calibration switch does not go to fault.
ACTION: Check the wiring on the remote reset and remote calibrate switches. Once the
short circuit is cleared, the unit will return to normal operation. If the magnetic switch is
35
Model S4000CH
shorted, the unit must be returned to the factory or authorized service center for service.
5.1.10 F11 Internal Error
ACTION – An internal error has occurred. The unit must be returned to the factory for
service. The possible errors are internal voltages are not at their proper values.
ACTION - The sensor and ARGC should be inspected. Recalibration removes the errors. If
recalibration does not remove the F12 error, the operator must inspect the ARGC and make
sure the gas tank is not empty, the gas line is not leaking, and the regulator is at the proper
setting. You can then apply the magnet over the display to clear the F12 error.

*NOTE: Address 0 is reserved for broadcast mode and will not be supported at this time.
If the S4000CH does not receive the query due to a communications error, then no
response is returned from the S4000CH and the master device will eventually process
a timeout condition for the query.
If the S4000CH receives the query, but detects a communication error (CRC, etc.),
then no response is returned from the S4000CH and the master device will eventually
process a timeout condition for the query.
38
Model S4000CH
If the S4000CH receives the query without a communications error, but cannot
process the response to the master within the master’s timeout setting, then no
response is returned from the S4000CH. The master device will eventually process a
timeout condition for the query. In order to prevent this condition from occurring,
the maximum response time for the S4000CH is 200 milliseconds. Therefore the
master’s timeout setting should be set to 200 milliseconds or greater.
If the S4000CH receives the query without a communications error, but cannot
process it due to reading or writing to a non-existent S4000CH command register,
then the S4000CH will return an exception response message informing the master of
the error.

A read returns the present Alarm settings of the S4000CH. A write command changes the
settings to the requested values. The set points are programmable in 5% FS steps.
NOTE: The maximum alarm setting for the S4000CH is 60% LEL.
A 1 in the 9th bit position means the output is Latching, a 0 means it is Non-Latching. A 1 in
the 8th bit position means the output is normally Energized a 0 means it is normally De-
Energized. The Alarm set point cannot be set below the Warn set point.
NOTE: The maximum warn setting for the S4000CH is 60% LEL.
A 1 in the 9th bit position means the output is Latching, a 0 means it is Non-Latching. A 1 in
the 8th bit position means the output is normally Energized, a 0 means it is normally De-
Energized. The Warn set point cannot be set above the Alarm set point.
Factory default is 30% FS, non-latching, de-energized.

COM 2 is user selectable to HART or Modbus if the unit is ordered with HART. HART
or Modbus is selectable via Modbus or the display. For additional information on HART, see
the S4000CH HART manual.
When HART is selected there are changes to comply with the HART requirements. Since
HART does not allow low current the actual current does not go below 3.5 mA. Modbus
reports the analog output as if HART was not there. This allows users to use a constant
program. The digital HART reports the actual current.
On HART equipped units, the user must select the HART – modified analog output in order
to use analog values that are standard with gas detection equipment.
6.8.17 Com2 Address (12h)
A read command returns the current address for Com2. A write command changes the
address to the requested values. Valid addresses are 1-247 decimal. Factory default is 2.

Monitors’ approval or which have been subjected to neglect, accident, improper installation or
application, or on which the original identification marks have been removed or altered.
Except for the express warranty stated above, General Monitors disclaims all warranties with
regard to the products sold, including all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness, and
the express warranties stated herein are in lieu of all obligations or liabilities on the part of
General Monitors for damages including, but not limited to, consequential damages arising out
of, or in connection with, the performance of the product.
Taking a matched pair of catalytic beads and coating one so that it does not respond to the
presence of combustible gases can compare the change in resistance between the two beads.
The bead that is coated is called the reference bead and the other is called the active bead.
Because the beads are a matched pair, they will respond equally to changes in ambient
temperature, humidity, and pressure. This makes the sensor virtually immune to changing
environmental conditions.
By connecting one end of each catalytic bead together, a series circuit is formed. This circuit is
supplied with a constant current. The voltage drop across each of the beads will be identical in
the absence of combustible gases. As combustible material is converted to heat, the resistance
of the active bead increases, causing the voltage drop across each bead to be different. This
difference is proportional to the amount of combustible gas that is present.
The voltage from the sensor is amplified and fed to an Analog to Digital (A/D) converter and
then made available to the microprocessor. The baseline and the gain for the amplifier are set
using digital potentiometers. They are adjusted by the microprocessor during calibration.
